The price of durian in mainland China is generally high. What climatic conditions are suitable for growing durian?

Durian is a kind of tropical fruit, which requires higher light, temperature and rain, while most parts of China belong to temperate monsoon climate, not only durian, but also tropical fruits such as bananas and mangoes, which are only planted in Hainan, Yunnan, Taiwan Province and Guangxi. But unlike other tropical fruits, durian requires higher growth conditions such as heat, light and rain, so at present, only a small part of Hainan.

However, due to climatic conditions, the taste of durian produced in Hainan is not very good, and the production capacity is really limited. In recent years, the domestic market demand for durian has greatly increased, so most of the durian in China is imported from abroad, and the main importer is Thailand, especially the golden pillow durian in Thailand, which accounts for 8% of the domestic market share.

durian is a tropical evergreen tree, which has strong vitality and does not require much soil, but it is high in rain, light and temperature. The most basic condition for planting durian is that the annual average temperature should be above 22 degrees, and it is also necessary to maintain a high temperature during the fruit-bearing period to ensure normal results. Once there is low temperature weather, the fruit bearing rate will be greatly reduced, which is also the main reason why durian is not fruitful in many places. The temperature can't be reached, and the illumination and rainwater supply in many other places can't be reached, so at present, there is only Haikou, Hainan, which is planted in a small scale in China. Secondly, the growth cycle of durian is relatively long. Unlike mango and banana, durian can bear fruit soon after planting to obtain economic benefits. The growth cycle of durian is relatively long, and it will take four or five years at the earliest. Some varieties even take more than seven or eight years to bear fruit, so don't look at how many durians a durian tree can bear, and the output is so high. However, due to the relatively large initial investment, the price of durian is not cheap. Even in Thailand, the price of durian is not cheap.

In short, scarcity is precious. If durian can be planted everywhere in China, I don't think it will have such a high price. The reason why there is no large-scale planting in China is mainly because the climate and environment in the field cannot be changed. As we say, "oranges born in Huainan are oranges, and those born in Huaibei are oranges", so durian is expensive. However, it is said that this durian is mainly eaten by a small number of people, and its choking smell is still unbearable for many people. Otherwise, it is not impossible to improve and upgrade large-scale planting at the current scientific level, don't you think so?
